Hard call—while she's not exactly unique, she's not quite like anyone I can think of, either

General comments:

She has quite a sharp voice, which some people will like more than others, but what most people will like her emotive, catchy way of singing and her songwriting. (Neile)

Lisa has a rather fragile voice that resides in the higher octaves, and can occasionally sound a bit childlike. She has good vocal control, and sings in a very 'flat' way (little vibrato and arpeggio, if those are the right terms). The music is sort of a mix of pop, country and rock, with a twist.

Comments:

An uneven one for me, as this tends toward sounding a little country-folkie for my tastes. I discovered her through someone mentioning her mp3.com tracks, and I think those are the best on the disc. I really like her song "I Don't Think So", about abuse—it manages to tell a story rather than being simply didactic as so many songs about issues are, and I like a couple of others quite a lot, too, but others I can live without. (Neile)

Most songs on this album are (un)love songs. The most dark and choking song would be "i don't think so", and is somewhat of an odd one out. At the other end there is the more uplifting 'sweet time', a sweet waltz. (l.vanstuivenberg@chello.nl)
